McDonald's E. coli Outbreak Sickens Over 100 Nationwide

An E.coli outbreak linked to slivered onions used in McDonald's Quarter Pounder burgers has sickened 104 people in the US, with 34 hospitalizations and one death. The outbreak, traced to onions from supplier Taylor Farms, prompted a recall and temporary suspension of the burger's sale in affected areas. McDonald's has since switched suppliers and resumed sales, while facing legal actions from affected consumers. Health officials continue to investigate, but no ongoing food safety concerns at McDonald's are reported.
